But according to certain philosophies and sentiments, it doesn't matter how high or low our feelings go, we are nothing in the whole scheme of time. And it doesn't matter if we are machines or a biological wonder, the sun will outnumber our days, and there will be absolutely no memory of us, and even if we had a hologram of us in the halls of fame, we will not be, nor will we ever be.
Yep, that is it. The sun was around before humans, didn't give a shit about us back then, and it has no capability of giving a shit about us after it explodes and our solar system dies.
Unfortunately you see that as fatalistic instead of simply valuing the ride while it exists and look for real answers to extend the ride.
I find NOTHING fatalistic about reality, even though it does have bad things in it. I do see a superstitious species that will cling to the past more often than not when it also has the capability of curiosity and logic and reason. Humans perceptions are notoriously flawed, but we are ALSO capable of questioning too.
